Disable the Management Center

If you no longer want to use the Management Center to manage the catalogs, promotions, and marketing, you can disable the feature. Note that if you disable the Management Center, some objects that you have created or updated using the Management Center may not work properly in the WebSphere Commerce Accelerator.

Before you begin

Before you disable the Management Center, complete the following prerequisites:

1. Verify the administrative server is started. For example:

   • If WebSphere Commerce is not managed by WebSphere Application Server Deployment Manager (dmgr), start the WebSphere Application Server server1.

   • If WebSphere Commerce is managed by WebSphere Application Server Deployment Manager (dmgr), start the deployment manager and all node agents. Optionally, the cluster can also be started.

2. Ensure the test server is stopped and WebSphere Commerce Developer is closed.

Procedure

1. Log on as a non-root user.

2. Navigate to the following directory:

   • WC_INSTALL/bin

   • WCDE_INSTALL\bin

3. Run the script to disable the Management Center:

   • config_ant.bat -buildfile WC_INSTALL/components/common/xml/disableFeature.xml -DinstanceName=instance -DfeatureName=management-center -DdbUserPassword=db_password

   • ./config_ant.sh -buildfile WC_INSTALL/components/common/xml/disableFeature.xml -DinstanceName=instance -DfeatureName=management-center -DdbUserPassword=db_password

   • disableFeature.bat -DfeatureName=management-center

   If the script runs successfully in the runtime environment, you see a BUILD SUCCESSFUL message in the command window where you ran the script. Otherwise, we will see a BUILD FAILED message. Refer to the following log file:

   • WC_INSTALL/instances/instance/logs/disablemanagement-center_timestamp.log

   If the script runs successfully in the development toolkit, we will see a disableFeature.bat completed message in the command window where you ran the script. Otherwise, we will see a disableFeature.bat FAILED message. Refer to the following log file:

   • WCDE_INSTALL\logs\disableFeature.log

4. Republish the application:

   1. Open WebSphere Commerce Developer and switch to the Enterprise Explorer view.

   2. Start the WebSphere Commerce Test Server.

   3. Right-click the test server in the Servers view and select Publish.

   4. Wait for the application to finish publishing and to restart.
